Hello, So - the problem appears when you are trying to use external screen which one is connected to the docking station (there is only two DisPlay ports and no others dedicated to monitors).When you connect it first time - it's ok. But when you trying to un-dock and dock again - external screen says "no input" and goes down. In other words - external screen is not working. The same issue is described over there:https://support.lenovo.com/lt/en/solutions/ht081248 Mine docking station type is 40AH, but anyway, I tried to run ThinkPad Ultra Dock 135W firmware update - but update says "the firmware you are trying to install is older than the version already installed. My Docking Station: Power adapter is 135W. All drivers are up to date. Btw - I have many of those docking stations with machines. For some of them everything is fine.But seems the problem is with docking station. I have two docking stations on my desk right now. And my computer on one is working fine, but with other on - not. So, it's clear that the problem is with the docking station.

Hi there, I have issues with external monitor is not being detected by Lenovo X270 on docking station, when i disconnect power supply from docking station. I do disconnect power in order not to keep laptops battery charging all day long. Any way to make this work? I have been using lenovo laptops on docking station since X230 series and have never come across with this. thank you Aslan

Having an issue with all Dell 7510's and associated docks we've deployed to new users at my employer. The external keyboard won't work at the Bitlocker prompt. These PC's are imaged for Win10.I've sifted through the BIOS settings and have had no luck getting it to work. One thread I found said to make sure the Post Behavior -> Fast Boot setting is set to Thorough. Verified that is the case.Note: if I undock and dock the PC the external keyboard will work that 1st time at the bitlocker prompt, but at next reboot it doesn't work.

Dear all I have bought a HP Zbook 15 laptop and installed Ubuntu 12.04. It does not show anything on the external monitor when I mount the laptop on the docking station. After installing the Ubuntu 12.04 and putting it on the docking station for the first time, I got this problem:"If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver". I have attached the whole log file. Then, I installed the latest Nvidia driver, and restarted the machine. This time, I do not see that error message; however, I cannot see anything on my external monitor which is connected to the docking station. Can you please tell me how to fix this problem? Best regards,Murtaza I did not find a way to attach the log file, so I put it here: [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset[ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu[ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.13.0-32-generic ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #57~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 03:51:20 UTC 2014 (Ubuntu 3.13.0-32.57~precise1-generic 3.13.11.4)[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic root=UUID=062ea7e8-5c86-4852-ba25-0372be603607 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7[ 0.000000] KERNEL supported cpus:[ 0.000000] Intel GenuineIntel[ 0.000000] AMD AuthenticAMD[ 0.000000] Centaur CentaurHauls[ 0.000000] e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map:[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000...

I have a similar problem with my HP ZBook 15 G2, latest BIOS v01.36, Hybrid Graphics set to Auto, booting with native UEFI.I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, kernel 4.9.3, X Server 1.19.1. Until kernel 4.8.x I was able to see activate the secondary DVI display on the original docking station with both, nouveau and native nvidia graphics drivers. This has been gone now for some unknown reason. During boot, I see ACPI errors like the following posssible indicating some BIOS issues:[ 11.233480] ACPI Error: [CFGD] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psargs-359)[ 11.233534] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_TZ.PSL] (Node ffff89c33fcb35a0), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psparse-543)[ 11.233592] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_TZ.GFXZ._PSL] (Node ffff89c33fcb3f28), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160831/psparse-543)[ 11.233653] ACPI: Invalid passive thresholdDoes someone has a solution?

I have a T440s presently with a T480s due for delivery this week - It seems that the docking platform for the T440s won't work with the T480s - correct? I have looked for a similar dock for the T480S without success (though this doesn't always mean something isn't available, just impossible to find on the Lenovo website...) Can anyone pont me to an Ultr Dock for the T480s - and/or confirm that the one for the T440s won't work? Is the Thunderbolt 3 dock the closest I can get to the same functionality (without the usefulness of an actual docking base) for the T480? Thanks for any assistance in advance.

HiI have a docking station pro and a T480s with windows 10.Probably since the last firmware update for the T480s (but this might not be related), my external monitor (display port) isn't recognized anymore (I have a Samsung 28 Zoll 4k monitor). I can only connect using the HDMI port from my T480s to connect.Any idea how to solve this issue? I updated everything today (Lenovo, Windows as well as drivers/firmware for docking station) but this didn't resolve the issue. CHeersRenger

Title says all I guess. Mouse and keyboard are not working though the dock (the new mechanical/thunderbolt kind) under the pre-installed windows as well as with ubuntu 18.04 alpha.The windows/Intel thunderbolt software does not show devices as well.I heard that I should've seen dialogs asking for permission to use the dock as a trusted device of somekind. I haven't seen this.Strangely network and screens work fine. I've looked at driver updates etc, but I seem to be up-to-date. Any ideas?

When I start my laptop or login to my laptop in docking station, the laptop screen often remains black. Appearantly it is sending the screen signal to the tv only. The tv is connected with an active 4k display port to hdmi adapter to the docking station. Windows key + p does not help. When taking the laptop out of the docking station, or, when disconnecting the display port plug from the docking station, there is no issue.Is there a way to set this up ensuring that the laptop always shows at least its own screen? I use the tv connection less often. I prefer not to have to plug in the display port for use. many thanks for your help!

I have the new X1 Carbon 6th Gen with the ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station (40AJ0135US) and have noticed any time I lock my computer and my screens turn off or my screens just turn off from the computer being idle for the set amount of time that when it comes back up that all my windows have moved to the main laptop screen. I have two monitors plugged in with DisplayPort to the dock and I use the laptop screen as the main screen. Has anyone else noticed this same issue? Any fixes?

Hi folks!I'm using my t430s in several areas, such as my parents house, or even at home, workplace, coffe shops, etc.... Well, at my parents house, i'm using a type 4336 docking station, with an old sharp FHD external tv hooked to the vga output.. And i used to activate it with fn+f7, when it's needed to show anything, when its necessary.... I have updated the windows lately, but after it the settings gone insane, and when i connect the laptop to the 4336 it sends the screen to the external, and need to change it back to laptop lcd by pressing the mentioned keys before. It is pretty frustrating, and i don't find the setting, which i was able to find before the update. It did the same way after the previoius update too.can somebody please help?I'm soo dissapointed in the new windows stuff by now. I used win 7 x64 for a looooong time, but.... the system came with win8 so its free os for me, and deceided to use it instead of 7. It was a mistake i know... Thank you in advance!carrEdit: I just noticed, if i close the lid, the secondary monitor is becoming the primary, and it turns itself on. How did this gone so bad?! :@

Hello,Like many people I have problems with my HP 2013 ultraslim docking station and DisplayPort connection.I connect my laptop elitebook 1041 g1 with a DisplayPort to a iiyama ProLite B2783QSU monitor. When plugged into the laptop, everything works properly, display port 1.2 and 2560x1440.By cons, on the docking station no image is displayed on the monitor : black screen. Every attempt I hear the sound of connection / disconnection of a new material, the screen on and off without turning on any image. Whether Display port 1.1 or 1.2 on the monitor.Everything is updated :- Firmware dock station: 2.27.000 Rev.A (March 31, 2015) - I had to go the DP 1.1 Monitor to get there.- BIOS laptop 01.33 Rev.A (6 November 2015).- Intel drivers Rev.W 4139 (8 April 2015).I have 2 identical screens and would like to connect them to the station ...Do you have an idea ?

Hello,to desribe the issue I recorded it:https://youtu.be/xx69CZVWH4wSo sometimes it is fine, but sometimes I have this flickering issue. And sometimes it gets really bad until the screen goes completely black. Then I have to restart the Laptop. Tilting the screen back and forth doesnt help, so it is not an issue with the hinge. I also have the latest driver for the MX150 and the dedicated intel graphic-scard. I have Win10 (64bit) Enterprise installed and the model number is SPC0V35APIs this a known issue and do you have any suggestions?Thank you

Just bought a new P70 and workstation dock. The dock works great when I have the laptop open but if I just put it on the dock the dock's power button does not turn the laptop on. I originally thought I would be able to walk in and snap it into the dock and run without having to have it open.

Is the dock plugged in? I have the same setup and mine starts fine. I have latest BIOS, but I don't know if that matters

Hi!I have a Latitude E7740 that runs Ubuntu Xenial (16.04). I dock it to a "Dell EURO2 Advanced E-port II" docking station. If I boot it in the docking station, everything works fine, and I find all my two DVI-connected monitors. However, if I undock, then put it into the dock again while running, it fails to enable the screens. I'm using a script called autorandr for switching between display modes - it uses xrandr. It tries to run:xrandr --output DP1-1 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 0x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normal --output DP1-2 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 1920x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normalBut the X server responds with:X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Serial number of failed request: 48 Current serial number in output stream: 48Running this exact command after booting in the dock is doing the right thing, but after undocking then docking, it doesn't work.Any ideas here?

Windows settings to extend screen to both monitors works fine until I undock then redock. Then the Intel Graphics settings seem to override the WIndows display settings and only one monitor works until reset using the windows 7 screen resolution to detect and extend again. When the Intel display app is opened from the system tray, the multiple monitors tool is only showing one of the 2 monitors connected.

I have dual Dell U2417H monitors connected to a Dell docking station (E-Port Plus II) using Dell Precision Port Laptop. The problem I am having is that I am unable to get all three displays working simultaneously. If I place the computer into projector mode then I can get both external monitors working, but only in that conifguration.I am looking to get both external and Laptops displays working simultaneously, can you help? I am currently using the supplied Dell mDP (mini Display Port - HDMI to mDP interface) cables.

I have a 17" Widescreen Sony VAIO laptop w/docking station (VGN-A190; Intel Pentium M 1.70 GHz; 1GB RAM; ATI RADEON 9700 64MB). Its a great computer which I've had for about 3 years. Still runs great! But unfortunately my laptop screen is beginning to die. It will only stay on for a few minutes before the back light turns off and you can't see anything. So instead of buying a new screen ($500), i went and bought an LG Flatron to hook up to my docking station using a DVI-D connection. Sort of a makeshift desktop set-up. I got it all hooked up and boom, got a nice clear picture. Except its got a 1in black border that runs equally around the picture. I tried playing with the resolution but the max i can go to is 1280 x 768. Is the connection from my laptop to the LCD monitor keeping my new monitor from capturing all the resolutions that the Laptop normally has by itself? How can i get the picture on my LCD to fill the screen? When i hook the monitor up to the docking station i only get three resolution choices: 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, and 1280 x 768. Appreciate any help!

I have a T530 with a Docking station and a USB connected printer.The printer is a HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw(CE864A) with a connection for USB Sticks Everytime the laptop is talken off the docking station and powered off then placed back on to the dock and powered by one BitLocker locks. If the printer is disconnected then there is no issue. Has anyone ran into something like with when using bitlocker for encrytion?-I did update the Bios and updated the OS and updated the Lenovo system updates as well.

I work from home and all the equipment I have was provided by my company. I have an HP ultra slim docking station which my HP laptop is connected to. Also connected to the docking station is a mouse, keyboard, and two HP EliteDisplay E190i monitors. Since hooking everything, I keep losing my screen. What I mean by that is they keep going black and when they come back on, the screen distored and there is an error message at the bottom of the screen. I can't recall the exact message because it disappears pretty quickly but it basically says that the graphics was lost. I assume this has something to do with running three screens on the docking station (the laptop, and two monitors). Is this right? If so, how do I fix it? I lose time everytime it happens becuase I usually have to reboot the system to get rid of the distortion. Please note: I have called my IT and they aren't too much help.

I have a T570 laptop and a Thinkpad Pro Dock-90W docking station. I have two monitors connected to the docking station. When I turn the computer on it takes several minutes for the display to appear on the external monitors. It seems to make it go quicker if I open the lid and close it but it seems random. Is there a way to speed up the process?

Hey folks. I've read similiar postings, but this is slightly different. I've got a HP Compaz NX9010 laptop running Windows XP on a docking station with an HP external monitor hooked up. The external monitor works fine with or without the laptop closed, but the external will not run video streams or saved video files. Video will only run on the laptop screen. The only way I can get video to run is to use the <function> toggle keys and disable the laptop screen which has to be done each time the laptop is booted. Is there any way to fix the settings so that this does not have to be done each time I'm docked? Thanks for any assistance or ideas you might have.

Almost a week ago I received my new P51 loaded with all available components, as did my last Lenovo W530. The P51 appears to be a great machine. My current problem is that I cannot display 4 screens (notebook plus 3 external displays). Since I have used my W530 with 4 displays for over two years I fully expected to achieve the same with an even more powerful Notebook. The new P51 has two 512 GB SSD drives, the Intel Xeon E3-1505M v6 vPro MB CPU, a NVIDIA Quadro M2200M 4GB graphics card, 32GB(16+16) DDR4 2400 SoDIMM, a notebook display of P51 FHD NT 2D MC CS WLWW and the latest Windows 10, 64 bit operating system. Since I received the P51 and its docking station (P/N: 40A50230US) I have connected the three external monitors to the docking station via a HDMI port, a DVI converter to HDMI and a Display Adapter converter to HDMI. The BIOS was updated to the latest and the 256 Mb default memory for the displays was increased to the 512 MG setting. I have also moved the displays and cables around to confirm that cables are fine and only two external displays will be seen at any time. In speaking with Lenovo hardware support, one individual said I needed to subscribe to software support to get the BIOS changed. Later, a second person said that I needed to play around with the BIOS settings and it should work. I have also rebooted the system a few times. Unfortunately I still cannot view 4 displays.

I have a brand new Latitude E7470 that I'm trying to connect to a 4k monitor thorough an E-port plus II docking station. Unfortunately the image keeps blanking out on the monitor, at a variable rate between once a second and once every few seconds. I've tried both a displayport cable and a DVI-to-HDMI cable for the connection, and the result was the same. Changing the resolution did not help either. I am running the latest BIOS and latest Intel graphics driver from the dell support page (both about a week old). (By the way, the BIOS update messes up the OS installation - buyer beware.)I've tried many other combinations to trouble-shoot the issue:1. Different laptops (E64xx), same E-port, same monitor -> works fine2. Same E7470, different E-port (old USB 2.0), same monitor -> monitor blinks3. Same E7470, same E-port, different brand 4k monitor, different DP cable -> monitor blinks4. Same E7470, same E-port, monitor switched to DP 1.1 -> monitor stays black 5. Direct connection between the E7470 and the monitor via HDMI -> works (but only at 30 Hz due to HDMI limitation)So the conclusion is that the combination of E7470 + E-port + 4k monitor doesn't work, regardless of the exact monitor or exact E-port. That leaves the E7470 as the only logical culprit.Is this problem a design limitation of the E7470, a known driver issue or a faulty notebook?Thanks in advance!

I am also having a similar problem with my 7470. Newest bios and drivers are installed. Happens on both the laptop's screen and using an external monitor through a docking station.Seems to start after the monitor has been turned off due to PC activity. Can fix it with a restart OR by changing the resolution and changing it back. Both highly annoying options. Switching from external to laptop screen does not fix it, it will continue.my external screen is using a DVI connection from the dock to the monitor which is also DVI so I am not using some kind of adapter. Removing the connection from my KVM does not resolve the issue either.

Hi guys! I'm about to buy a 4337 docking station for my T400 (I figured out that it should work with it). So I was wondering is it possible to use two external monitors and the laptop's monitor at the same time by connecting the first external monitor in the VGA port of the station and the second monitor in the VGA port of the laptop. Any ideas?

Hi,Is there any possibility of connecting the monitor without docking station? The Dell S2718D delivers a resolution of only 2048x1080. It is connected via miniDP (notebook) and HDMI (monitor). Eventually, which docking station?Thank'sjba

Hi there, I am using a Thinkpad T460s in a docking station and I have one external monitor attached with HDMI, the other one with VGA. They have run on 1920x1080 for two years now and all of a sudden one of the monitors cannot do more than 1280x1024 any more.Both monitors are exactly the same brand and type and the configuration has worked for quite a while. When I want to configure the lower resolutions monitor in Windows 10 or in the Intel console, the maximum resolution I get is 1280x1024 at 60p and the other monitor still runs on 1920x1080 at 60p what am I missing? Thank you!Michael

When my laptop, a Zbook 14 G2 (second generaation) is on a 2013 HP Slim docking station, my laptop is fine but my external monitor flickers and snows. I tried downloading the SP66799, but it only made it worse after installation.

When I connect only one monitor through the HDMI port on the port replicator, it works fine. When I then add the 2nd monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator, the DVI connected monitor displays, the HDMI connected monitor shuts off - and...I can no longer even see the HDMI connected monitor in the display settings options. How do I make the HDMI & DVI connected monitors to work at the same time? Thx, Jim

I have 3 Dell P2210 monitors hooked up to a DK1633 doscking staion. 2 hooked up using DisplayPort connections and 1 using a VGA connection. The VGA is 1024 X 768. Can I get it to 1680 X 1050 like the other 2? I think I can since when I first hooked it up the VGA monitor was displaying 1680 X 1050 and one of the other monitors with the DisplayPort connection was at 1024 X 768. Do I need ot use the HDMI connection on the laptop it's self?

Hi, I am planning to gift a docking station and two monitors to my husband so that he may set up a work from home for his HP Elitebook 840.

A:Connecting HP ultraslim docking station with 2 external moni...

Do you know which version of the HP Ultraslim Docking station you have? There were some specific changes in regards to the 2013 generation of the dock where the docking station has 2 x DisplayPorts instead of earlier versions that only had one DisplayPort and one VGA. If you have the later 2013 Generation docking station and have 2 x DisplayPorts, those monitors should be fine. And you'd of course need the two displayport cables to use with the monitors (monitors might come with them, but make very sure they do). The 2013 Model looks like this (2 Display ports to the right of the Network jack):http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61ZSGNoW0sL._SL1500_.jpg Whereas the older model looks like this (single DisplayPort, next to the Network jack):http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products_xl/172474/hp-ultraslim-docking-station.jpg If the monitors do not come with cables, I highly recommend Monoprice.com as your source for those or ANY cabling. The link below is for 3 foot long cables, but depending on the layout of his desk, you might want 6-10 foot cables. Below link is an example:http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13359 Brian

This is really strange, but when laptop is docked and headphones are unplugged from docking station I'll get a message from DTS Audio application that says "you just unplugged an audio device" and then both of my HP Compaq LA2206x monitors will go to sleep. The way to recover is remove laptop from docking station, open up to get display, then close and re-dock. My display adapters are AMD Radeon R7 M260X and Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500. My sound device is Realtek HD Audio. Is this an audio driver or display driver issue, or both? thanks.c

Hi all, I have a Thermaltake external eSATA docking Station that had no issues in Windows 7. Now with Windows 8.1, each time I power it on it will not be automatically recognized (not showing in "This PC"), I have to go to Device Manager and right click "Storage Controllers" and click "Scan for Hardware Changes". After doing this Windows 8.1 will pick it up and the external drive will show in "This PC". How can I fix this? Any ideas? ThanksUPDATE: Installed ASmedia 106 drivers and now issue fixed.

Hi, I am trying to connect my T470s to two external monitors using a ThinkPad Docking (HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, DVI-D, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, LAN/RJ45). One of the monitors is connected to the docking station through a VGA cable, the other monitor through an HDMI cable. I run on Windows 10 Pro. Both monitors are shown in the control panel. However, unfortunately only the monitor connected through the VGA cable displays. Once I disconnect this one, the HDMI suddenly displays. I want to have both monitors working at the same time. Would anybody know how to do this? Many thanks,Sebastian

Just replaced my OS (Win 8.1) Drive, and was planning on using the old drive as a back up.

This new (and old) drive have just the OS, all my programs and media etc are on other drives.

Can I put my old OS drive, with Windows 8.1 still installed, into a USB Docking Station, and use it as a back up boot drive. In other words will this drive boot from the Docking Station if I keep it up to date (Copy Disk regularly) in case of internal hard drive failure?

Thanks in advance?

A:Windows 8.1 - Wil EXternal Drive in Docking Station boot?

A regular poster on another forum does what you are suggesting. Except he takes it a step further. Since he builds his own, the system internal drive is in a quick release setup. If the drive has a problem he pulls it out and slides in the backup. He uses Macrium Reflect to image to the backup using a docking station.

But I've also heard from others that a drive in an enclosure will boot via USB. Some techs use that to boot into a fully working Windows system so they have all the tools needed to fix the customer system during a house call.

Don't ask me about licensing issues since I'm not an attorney. But the poster who does the haedware backup drive I would think is only using Windows on the one drive that is installed in the machine etc..

Hello, I have a lenovo T560 with a basic docking station. I would like to use two external monitors (without the in-build laptop monitor). The docking station has a VGA output and the laptop a build in HDMI output. It works fine with laptop monitor + HDMI and laptop monitor + VGA through docking station but can't figure out how to disable the laptop monitor and use the two external ones simulatiously. Any ideas would be very welcomed. Thank you, Alex

Our company is currently running triple monitors off of the 90w docking station. We have several instances of the screens blacking out and resetting everything to the main monitor. They work fine most of the time. A restart does nothing. we are running two on the DVI, one on. I am wondering if the display ports need to be active adapters? Some systems are ok but some are not. I have updated all display drivers and links to current. Any help would get me brownie points

just purchased an elitebook and all seemed fine until I put it in an HP ultraslim dock 2013 station and I cannot get the screens to come up. The computer starts initially showing the Windows startup on the screen and then screens fade to black. I have tried pressing thef fn key along with the F4 key that doesn't seem to help. I have used the same docking station with another computer and it works fine which leads me to believe the docking station is not the issue. Would appreciate anybody's insight if they experienced a similar problem and would more than welcome any suggestion relative to a solution. Thanks

A:USB issue with docking station

Sounds like the dock drivers you are using cannot be W7 compatible, that simple.

You'll need to check compatability and availability of driver updates with the maker.

I just bought two LG E2340 Monitors that I want to hook up to my docking station. I have 1 VGA connector and 1 DVI connector. My laptop is a Dell Latitude D630. I have been reading other forums and they say in Display under Settings I can see which monitor is which but it doesnt say VGA or DVI.....
1 says Plug and Play Monitor on Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
and
2 says (Default Monitor) on Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

But they both slaved to one another, (they are showing a mirror image of each other)

what am i doing wrong?

I dont quite understand your setup sorry, you have a laptop (with a screen) that you want to connect 2 more screens to, thus ending up with 3 screens total? if so, Its unusual for a laptop to be able to do that.Anyway, have you check the box which says "Extend my desktop onto this monitor"? in display properties? if that isnt selected they will just display mirror images like you say.
